How did an article (was it in Q magazine when they talked about the 1010 songs you must own) say it again so strikingly? It was something like: a song with rather mundane lyrics, but a beast live.
Anyway, I'll have to look up the exact quote, but I hope you catch my drift. Maybe not the most profound U2 song lyrically, but who can withstand the 'Woo-hoo'?

Ah, I found the quote I was writing about earlier. It was in the April 2005 issue of Q magazine (with their Ultimate Music Collection feature, although I don't know why they had it 6 months after their previous must-own-music feature )

Ian McCulloch the U2 fan:
"Who buys U2 records anyway? It's just music for plumbers and bricklayers. Bono, what a slob. You'd think with all that climbing about he does, he'd look real fit and that. But he's real fat, y'know. Reminds me of a soddin' mountain goat."
"And as for Bono, he needs a colostomy bag for his mouth."

I'm always surprised by how hated the lyrics are. I love the rhythm of the words, and Rock and Rolls all about rhythm.
So it doesn't set out to save the world, who cares? Not one of my fave U2 songs but far from being my least.
